After a sold-out first edition in 2016, followed by eight other editions, each as beautiful and successful as the last, ARTE Concert Festival returns this autumn with a new, 10th edition! Mark your calendars, ARTE Concert Festival returns to Paris' Gaîté Lyrique with two not-to-be-missed evenings on Friday, October 24 and Saturday, October 25, 2025.
As in previous editions, the festival remains free of charge, but is only accessible by reservation (from October 1 at 3pm via the La Gaîté Lyrique website), and subject to availability. For those who can't make it, dry your tears: as every year, the ARTE Concert Festival will be broadcast live and replayed on arte.tv and the Arte Concert Youtube channel.
After welcoming Iggy Pop, Ärsenik, Foals, Sébastien Tellier, Damon Albarn, Nova Twins, Wolf Alice, Jehnny Beth, Chilly Gonzales and The Kills in recent years, who has the honor of bringing the ARTE Concert Festival 2025 to life? Well, this year, ARTE invites Canadian singer and multi-instrumentalist Mac DeMarco. The artist will be presenting"Guitar", his 6th studio opus released in July 2025.
Other artists scheduled to perform at the Gaîté Lyrique this autumn as part of the ARTE Concert Festival? Belgian artist Camille Yembe, British singer and musician Baxter Dury and French singer-songwriter Silly Boy Blue. And let's not forget the British band from Manchester, Wu Lyf, and the American singer and violinist Sudan Archives.
In short, ARTE is once again pulling out all the stops with two eclectic evenings. Remember that last year, the Parisian festival invited rapper Lala &ce, British indie rock band Porridge Radio, the talented St. Vincent, as well as Welsh musician and electronic producer Kelly Lee Owens and the electro project Kompromat, formed by Rebeka Warrior and Vitalic.
Whether you're in the Gaîté Lyrique's Grande Salle, its historic foyer or the immersive auditorium, or behind the screen at home, the ARTE Concert Festival will delight your eyes and ears with concerts like no other, up close and personal with the artists.
